I skew weird and brainy: areas of special focus include science fiction, modern fantasy, magical realism, horror, bizarro, and postmodern lit.

Are we a good match? Let’s find out. Contact me for samples or a Trial Edit.

Trial Edit

Before we engage in a deal where I critique your entire manuscript, we can do a “Trial Edit,” where I edit a small sample of your work (usually about 10 pages) at an arranged price. This trial edit is the best way for us to get to know one another. At that point, you can review my edits and see if you want to proceed with the entire piece. It also gives me an opportunity to stop editing if I feel no connection with the project.

Editorial Credits Include:

Living Nightmare (D M Dore, 2019) modern thriller/novel

Liquid Hitler (S L Koch, 2018) bizarro noir/novella

Points in Time (David Watkinson, in development) science fiction/screenplay

“Tod’s efforts on my two-book ‘Luminarium’ series went above and beyond my expectations. Not only did his line edits fix my clunky verbiage, but his critique of plot points, repetition, and character arcs will make my books a much, much better read for those who pick them up.”

— Rick Rosenkranz

It’s important to find the right editor for your style and personality. That’s why I believe the ideal writer-editor relationship is both tight and extended. After all, it’s more than a matter of grammar; it’s a matter of message, voice, quality and consistency. Ready to take that step? Drop me a line.
